They appreciate it a lot and I don't feel quite as I do when I throw it out!!

We were wasting so much food and I think they knew they would get a snack later so they wouldn't eat dinner and would wait for a snack. cheert16 on "If your LO doesn't finish their dinner, do you eat the food yourself later?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-finish-their-dinner-do-you-eat-the-food-yourself-later#post-1649171 Wed, 21 May 2014 11:41:25 +0000 cheert16 1649171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope- but if its not gross- I will save it for another meal. Ex: Lo had grapes for breakfast but only ate like 1(Cut up) so I grabbed the rest off his try- gave them a quick rinse and put them in his lunch! mediagirl on "If your LO doesn't finish their dinner, do you eat the food yourself later?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-finish-their-dinner-do-you-eat-the-food-yourself-later#post-1649072 Wed, 21 May 2014 10:58:30 +0000 mediagirl 1649072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sometimes, but normally we just toss it.

Sometimes I can salvage some of the meal for later, but often we end up throwing out quite a bit of food! It pains me greatly to see that food go to waste... hopefully their dinner appetite picks up soon! If your LO doesn't finish their dinner, do you eat the food yourself later?
